A battery discharger will be required to condition and balance the pack before you charge it. But yes you can possibly get your other pack to punch like that.
Fully balancing the pack down with a discharger, you will be able to get a fuller charge out of the old pack.

And what you are seeing is the packs are being repeaked to top off the highest punch possible just before a race heat and to warm them up a bit.
